Turning CO2 emissions from the process industry to feedstock (Processes4Planet partnership) (IA)
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action program, part of the broader 'Twin Green and Digital Transition' call, aims to revolutionize the process industry by converting CO2 emissions into valuable feedstock. It distinguishes itself by fostering semi-industrial scale demonstrators that showcase economic viability and integrate advanced digital and renewable energy solutions for a climate-neutral and resilient European industry.
Who is Funded for CO2 Transformation
This program targets a broad range of entities, including private companies, research organizations, and public bodies across European Union and Associated Countries, to drive innovation in sustainable industrial processes. The overarching goal is to achieve climate neutrality in the industrial sector by 2050 by transforming CO2 emissions into valuable resources.
What is Funded for Industrial Decarbonisation
Funding is provided for projects focused on developing and demonstrating innovative solutions for capturing and converting CO2 emissions from energy-intensive process industries into valuable chemicals and materials. Supported projects should focus on integrated systems at a semi-industrial scale, emphasizing energy efficiency, circularity, and digital integration.
Type and Scope of Funding for CO2 Valorization
This program offers grant funding for innovative projects, with a significant budget allocation of up to 30,000,000 € per topic. It features differentiated funding rates to encourage industrial participation and support non-profit entities, aiming to accelerate the deployment of CO2 valorization technologies.
